With 17 years of dedicated teaching experience in inner city schools, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the field of education. My journey has encompassed a broad spectrum, from early years education right through to high school. Within my time as an administrator, I had a specialized focus on special educational needs, including Autism, severe learning difficulties, and profound and multiple learning difficulties. In addition to my teaching background, I have also honed my management skills in both educational and commercial settings, providing me with a unique perspective on leadership and teamwork. My strength lies in people management, where I have effectively coached both adults and students through challenging situations, fostering growth and development.My passion for education extends beyond the classroom, as I have delivered training to individuals and groups on various educational topics, including curriculum development, phonics, SCERT's, objects of reference, augmentative communication aids, and a range of early years practices.My professional journey has not been solitary; I have collaborated extensively with diverse partners in health, social work, psychology, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, as well as the justice system and addiction support. These collaborations have enriched my understanding of the holistic needs of students and communities.I am open to exploring opportunities in both educational and non-educational settings, driven by a commitment to making a positive impact and leveraging my extensive experience. If you're looking for someone who can bring passion, expertise, and a collaborative spirit to your team, I'd be excited to connect and explore potential opportunities. Let's make a difference together.
